Wedding Day
Today, we head up to Sedona, AZ for Shelby and Eric’s wedding – two of the coolest, most down to earth people you’ll meet. We’re so excited for them and can’t wait to party it up at the Sedona resort to celebrate! And celebration is definitely in order for Ms. Spears, who’s overseas with her “Circus” tour. Her album, “Circus, continues to impress on the charts and she’s not showing any signs of slowing. To follow up the massive success of her 3rd single, “If You Seek Amy”, the Queen of Pop is releasing the bonus track from the album as her 4th single from the album. “Radar” will include…

Third Day
Our last day in Phoenix before we head up to Sedona for the wedding event of the spring. We could sure use some cooler weather – PHX is so freaking hot! Speaking of hot, check this video of Space Cowboy’s new single, “Falling Down” featuring Idol Insider’s favorite new ladies, The Paradiso Girls. Chelsea’s workin’ it out!

Second Day
Vacation for me continues – and no doubt, I am enjoying the heat in sunny Arizona. The Idol winner, Kris Allen, performed with Keith Urban, one week ago, before being crowned the winner. Check out this awesome performance of “Kiss the Girl” and watch Kris Allen’s journey through season 8.

Vacation Begins
I will be on vacation – visiting friends, hanging poolside, and going to one of my very best friend’s wedding’s – starting today. So it will be slow, but I will make sure you have a little something for each day I am gone. To start things off, here is a fantastic performance – my favorite from the contestants – from the Idol finale, which aired last Wednesday. It features our season 8 runner up, Adam Lambert.

Happy Memorial Day
Katharine McPhee, the runner up to season 5’s Idol winner, Taylor Kicks, has been a busy lady this last year. After her first album failed to take off, due to a lack of promotion from the label, the singer dabbled in acting, making her debut in “The House Bunny” with Anna Faris. But, now she is back with a new label, a new husband, and a new album being released later this year. And even though she’s been out of the public eye, minus her recent run in with the paps and a, now famous, homeless woman, she stopped by the National Memorial Day Concert to prove she still has…

SNL: Season Finale
As MADtv made its last appearance on Saturday night, big things were happening over at the SNL season finale last week. Will Ferrell served as host, while Green Day played two new tracks from their fantastic new album. And while Ferrell is a veteran cast member of the late night sketch show, he has become a bon-a-fide super star. He reprised his roles from earlier days on the show and introduced the world to some new ones. And then the stars came out in style: Mya Rudolph made an appearance, Amy Poehler reprised her spot with Seth Meyers delivering the “Weekend Update”, Norm McDonald brought back Burt Reynolds (seen below),…

Favorite Moment on Idol Finale
My all time favorite moment on Wednesday night’s Idol finale is posted for all to see below. I do think that Kara went a little overboard in order to prove her point, but “Bikini Girl” had it coming. And can we just say, “Damn, Kara! Rockin’ bod!”. There, we said it! Enjoy! [yahoo id=13582383 vid=5124792 w=512 h=322 thumburl=http://l.yimg.com/a/p/i/bcst/videosearch/9005/85952468.jpeg]

Kris Allen Is An American Idol
Congratulations to Kris Allen, our newest American Idol, on his surprising win last night! Both Kris and Adam brought some real talent to the long running reality series and both deserved to be there last night. And while Allen won the title, both Kris and Adam have released the single, “No Boundaries” to iTunes today (at press time Lambert was beating Kris on the top downloads chart), showcasing that both are embarking on some successful careers. But, first let’s revisit last night’s show. Allen sang with Keith Urban, showcasing a cool country vibe that we hadn’t seen from him, even during country week. Lambert sang with KISS, which was one…

Idol Finale Recap
As the final Idol hopefuls took the stage last night, American knew they were in for a treat when Adam Lambert and Kris Allen faced off in one of the best finales in the history of the show. Kris had won the coin toss and he chose to go last, which is always a safer bet. Round One: Adam Lambert, predictably, sang “Mad World”, which was his best performance on the season. But unfortunately it fell a little short in comparison to the first go at the song, leaving Kris to pick up the pieces with his piano accompanied choice of “Ain’t No Sunshine”. Kris’ smooth vocal and new arrangement…

TONIGHT: Idol Finale
Tonight, watch as underdog, Kris Allen, takes on the Season 8 front runner, Adam Lambert (aka Glambert) in the Idol showdown. Tonight’s episode will pit the two against each other, both performing three songs. The first round will feature the contestants favorite performances of the season. My guess is Kris will go with last week’s “Heartless”, while Lambert will likely choose “Mad World”. The second song choice will be that of ex-Idol producer, Simon Fuller. In the past this song choice was that of Clive Davis’, but I guess they’ve opted out of that this year. Then, finally, the contestants will sing the winner’s single, “This Is How I Want…
